Jul 1, 2026July 2026 monthly summary for NVIDIA/cutile-python focused on a critical bug fix in the Tile Kernel static shape annotation packing order. Corrected the constants packing sequence so specialization bits are added after the array type and before the static shape dimensions, aligning with the parsing logic and preventing incorrect kernel behavior. Added a regression test validating shape and stride constraints for static shapes to guard against regressions. These changes reduce risk of launch-time misbehavior and improve reliability for downstream workloads relying on static shape annotations. Commit f14d5cceba923b03c1cf7f6dd30331ce3445e4db with message "Fix launch-constant ordering for static shape annotations" was applied. The work enhances kernel correctness, test coverage, and long-term maintainability.

Jun 1, 2026June 2026 monthly summary for NVIDIA/cutile-python: Expanded Python-CUDA interoperability and kernel expressiveness. Delivered a new cutile_python_v2 calling convention with TupleConstraint and static-shape mangling/demangling, added Enum support for Python in CUDA kernels, introduced static shape annotations for kernel specialization and optimization, enabled Python tuples as kernel arguments (including nested/mixed structures), and completed CUDA language API cleanup for consistency (code_object removal and memory_order naming). All features were shipped with extensive tests, documentation updates, and robust type/dispatch logic, driving developer productivity, reliability, and potential performance gains across GPU-accelerated workloads.

Jan 1, 2026Month: 2026-01 | NVIDIA/cutile-python: Delivered a robust enhancement to the numeric type constructors by adding floating point infinities support (float('inf') and float('-inf')). This strengthens edge-case handling and improves compatibility for downstream systems consuming special IEEE-754 values. Implementation involved two commits (same hash) implementing the change: d802602f8f8d4ce690d9eb2b03ce4699db9c05da. No major bugs fixed in this period.
